+ "however many" on the Hornady. New dies get these before use regardless of what is on them. Hard to get too excited about die rings...

That makes a lot more sense, I was thinking in one side out the other and was like ***? But ya in the back out the front is legit.

I would never shoot a deer in the face! That's why I waited for her to turn her back. I shot her in the back of the head and it exited...

Immediately this came to mind.

If you need one more I also run Hornady. It's a bonus that they are actually reasonably priced.

Looks like Hornady won the hunt

Hornady make a good lock ring. It will stay put if secured properly...

@Jon Bischof How did you manage to shoot it in the face at 10 yards?

I've got one from TAB gear. Doesn't look like he offers them in orange but if you contact them maybe...

That would work also. I usually have a lighter handy in a pocket, my ferro rod is in my pack in a fire kit. (less handy)

IMO if you're going into a situation where you're gonna need/ want a mini stove you're gonna need a lighter anyway.

I went and looked at the SAC design for the comparator. I can see where their tapered design can be an issue if your chamber is too...

What does the neck OD of a loaded piece of ammo measure?

I think ur looking at the wrong drawing. Even the one you posted shows .277" neck Diameter +.002" tolerance. I think ur using the wrong...

How so? Cartridge neck diameter is only .002 over SAAMI spec when fired which seems tight to me.
